Yates

\n\nThe surname Yates is generally accepted as either an occuptional or locality surname. The surname Yates is most abundant in Lancashire and Derbyshire and is also found in the English counties of Buckinghanshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire.\n\nWhilst Yates is a broadly used and accepted English spelling, other variants and derivatives include: Yeats, Yeates, Yetts, Yeatman, Yetman, Yateman, Yatman, Eytman and Eatman, with Yett and Yeats being particularly prevalent in Scotland\n\n<h3>Meaning</h3>\nThere are a number of different lines of thought on the origin of the name\n\nYates as a occupational name used for gatekeepers, from Old English "geat" - meaning gate which became yate in Middle English. This occupational surname reflected a time when many english roads were privately owned and land owners employed peasants to collect tolls from travellers wishing to pass through their extensive farms.The gatekeeper at a castle or manor was a trusted servant. Yates(s) can be found in medievel records in the form of "atte Yate", and "de lat Yate". The prepositions were appended to signify the dwelling place or occupation of the name bearer.\n\nYates as a patronymic form of locality name - Yate, a Gloucestershire township, the taking of the name Yates and would indicate that the original bearer of the surname probably came from here in early times - ie "dweller of Yate". Early references to the placename Yate date back to the eleventh century where Yate is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. Yate, along with Henbury, Redwick and Stoke were part of the same manor in Brentry Hundred. "In them are nine ploughs in lordship; twenty seven villagers and twenty two smallholders with twenty six ploughs. Twenty male and two female slaves and twenty freedmen with ten ploughs. A mill at 20d".\n\nAn alternative interpretation of the locality model exists in the south-west of England, where the term "geat" was used to indicated a gap or pass in a chain of hills, hence came the origin of the place named "Yetminster", in Dorsetshire. Any number of persons living in the vicinity may have adopted "Geats" or other derivatives such as "Geatmann" as a surname, simply signifying "dweller by the gap/pass" or "man living near the pass/gap".\n\n<h3>Notations in History</h3>\nThe name appears throughout the centuries and throughout England. The variations and differences in spelling differences continued until the 19th century, however the split between Yates and Yateman had occurred by the 14th century..\n\nSome early instances of the surname include Phillip Del Yate who was mentioned in the "Assize Rolls" for Cheshire in 1260.\n\nA William Gateman is recorded in the Sussex Parish Subsidy Rolls as living in Worchestershire in year 1296.\n\nIn 1307, there are refernces to a Richard Yateman living at the Manor of Hales, and thereis a John atte Yete who was recorded in the "Subsidy Rolls" for Somerset in 1327.\n\nA J Yateman is recorded as residing in Devonshire in 1332, with a William atte Yate recorded in Somerset between 1327 and 1377 and an Adam atte Yate recorded in the Yorkshire Poll Tax in 1379.\n\nIn the "London Commercial and Court Directory" of 1870 there are thirty-seven instances of the surname. Variants of the surname include Yeats, Yeates and Yate.\n\nA notable bearer of the surname Yeats was William Butler Yeats (1865-1939), the famous poet who was also a Nobel Prize winner\n\n<h3>Coat of Arms</h3>\nThere are a number of different Coats of arms registered for the surname Yates.
